The Crocheted Lemons used to embellish the towel topper are included in the ad free pdf. that can be purchased for less than a cup of coffee.

Lemon Farmhouse Towel Topper

Yarn Used:

Red Heart Super Saver; MC= White; CC1 Yellow; CC2 = Navy. I highly recommend using cotton yarn & acrylic is suitable as long as it isn’t exposed to a lot of heat.

Towel Topper -MC = White – 35 yds; CC1 = Yellow – 15 yds

Notes on Yarn Used:

If using a lightweight cotton such as Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Cotton” it will make a smaller product.

Gauge: 

Not applicable

Hooks 

H-8/5.00 mm

Stitch Guide:

MC = Main Color = White

CC1 = Contrasting Color = Yellow

CC2 = Contrasting Color = Navy

ch = Chain

sc = Single Crochet

dc = Double Crochet

join w/ = join with

slp st = Slip Stitch

skp = Skip 

sp. = Space

nxt = Next

prev. = previous

st./st’s = stitch or stitches

beg. = beginning

* * = Complete sequence between the stars, the number of times stated;

x = Times; example Repeat 2 x or 2 times; 3 x or 3 times and so on;

in = example “in nxt st” means you will be inserting the hook under the top two loops of the next stitch to complete stitch or sequence of stitches stated

yo = Yarn Over

Special Stitch Guide:

mb = Mini Bean Stitch = insert hook into the stitch indicated, draw up a loop, yo, insert hook into the same st, draw up a loop, yo, draw thru all 4 loops on hook, ch 1 to close the stitch.

The mb stitch is a unique cluster stitch. When the pattern is worked in rows each row of stitches has a right and left tilt.  It is easy to use the ch 1 space to execute the cluster, but it will not give you the right, left tilt.

Sew the towel topper to the corner of the towel you are using. I use the corner that has the tag. With the right side of the towel facing you, measure 4″ down on each side of the corner, and place a pin at the 4″ mark. Place the top of the towel topper at the pin marks, on both sides, and pin in place. Proceed to sew with a sewing needle and thread. When the towel topper is in place, tuck the upper corner to the inside. Turn over the towel, and roll the long edges of the towel to the center, on both sides. The towel will be strait and condensed into a tube. Feed the bottom or tail of the tube down through the top of the towel topper, bringing it up and over, from behind.
